Dawes Quits Budget Desk Passes Baton to Lord
Gen Dawes leaves the budget bureau after a year of reforming Uncle Sam’s finances and Brig. Gen. H. M. Lord, a veteran congressman and former quartermaster assistant, takes over as director of the budget. Lord, 61, began as a newspaper man and served in the Spanish American War, later earning the D.S.M. and overseeing wartime finance. The piece argues the budget system limits excess spending and ties executive plans to congressional approval, with the president guiding the program and Congress deciding final appropriations.
